<atomic>: atomic_ref<int8_t>::operator--(int) fails to compile #1302

@billy-baker

Description

@billy-baker

There is an incorrect cast on line 1368 of <atomic>. The cast to _Ty should be _TVal.

_TVal operator--(int) noexcept {
    return static_cast<_Ty>(_InterlockedExchangeAdd8(_Atomic_address_as<char>(this->_Storage), -1));
}

Command-line test case

C:\Temp>type repro.cpp
#include <atomic>

int main() {
	int8_t x = 0;
	std::atomic_ref(x)--;
}
